FXStreet (Guatemala) – Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet noted that conditions surrounding USD/JPY of late.
Key Quotes:
“The USD/JPY pair has retraced sharply last week, after posting a fresh multi-year high of 125.85 earlier this month on the back of a strong US Nonfarm Payroll report in May.”
“But Bank of Japan’s Kuroda turned south the fate of the pair, now unable to regain the 124.00 level. Daily basis, the Momentum indicator has crossed below its 100 level, suggesting the pair may extend its decline this week, particularly if the price extends below 122.45 this past week low.”
“Shorter term however, the picture is not that clear, as the price struggles around still bullish 100 SMA, whilst the Momentum indicator heads strongly north above the 100 level, but the RSI indicator turned lower around 44.”
“The pair has an immediate short term in the 123.00 level, and a downward acceleration below it should increase the selling pressure. To the upside, the 124.40/50 price zone has been attracting selling interest, which means a clear break above it is required to signal a recovery towards the 125.00 figure.”
